Betty and Arthur Smith remain inseparable and very much in love after 70 years of marriage.&nbsp; On Wednesday, January 9 the Camden Haven Courier met Betty and Arthur&nbsp;at the Whiddon Group Laurieton. Betty kindly tells her husband that he has icing cream on his shirt, as a result of enjoying a cake&nbsp;for morning tea.&nbsp; “I’ve always looked after him and always will,” she said.&nbsp; The couple’s wedding was on January 8,&nbsp;1949 at&nbsp;Saint John’s Anglican Church in Taree.&nbsp; Betty said it was love at first sight when she met Arthur at a dance at Coopernook.&nbsp; “Not many can say that these days,” she said.&nbsp; Arthur was 23-years-old and Betty was 19-years-old when they&nbsp;married.&nbsp; Both Betty and Arthur were born on farms and spent their lives working on the land.&nbsp; They bought a dairy farm in Kendall in 1966 and spent 24 years there.&nbsp; Arthur said the farm was the best place to raise their five children&nbsp;Lynne, Russell, Corin, Janenne and Suzette.&nbsp; The couple have 17 grandchildren and 30 great grandchildren.&nbsp; They have&nbsp;never had any major arguments throughout their life together.&nbsp; “We were too busy to argue,” Arthur said.&nbsp; Arthur was in a very serious accident while gathering firewood with a tractor, when the couple worked on a farm at Purfleet.&nbsp; Betty said he was taken to hospital in Sydney but was given a low chance&nbsp;of surviving.&nbsp; Arthur spent eight months in hospital before returning home to his family.&nbsp; Betty and Arthur said the key to a long marriage is to be kind to one another and share tasks.&nbsp; “If I was busy out on the farm Arthur would help me by doing the washing up,” Betty said.&nbsp; A celebration was at Whiddon Group Laurieton on Tuesday, January 8 to mark the couple’s 70 years of marriage.&nbsp; Arthur and Betty were treated to a morning tea and a Chinese dinner.&nbsp; They are the only married couple who currently live at Whiddon Group Laurieton.&nbsp;
